I'm having a tough time with my 9070 XT graphics card. It keeps crashing and showing driver timeout errors, and sometimes I can't even get any signal over HDMI to see my screen. Recently while playing Spider-Man 2, I noticed strange blue squares appearing. I've tried a bunch of fixes like BIOS updates and reinstalling the GPU drivers, which leads me to suspect it might be related to power issues or instability with the card itself. I'm wondering if I should invest in custom PCIe cables from CableMod since my GPU uses two 6+2 pin PCIe daisy-chained cables, or if I should consider getting a new GPU entirely. Here are my PC specs: CPU - 7800X3D, GPU - 9070 XT, PSU - MSI MPG A850G PCIe5.

If you're set on trying the custom cables, you could indeed connect the middle connector of one cable to one female port on the GPU, and then use another cable for the second female port. Just make sure you have the right setup; it could help with power delivery. But still, don't overlook the potential need for an RMA if the issues persist!
It sounds like you might need to RMA the card. If you haven't done a DDU to completely clean your drivers, give that a shot too. It often helps solve stability issues, and your card might be faulty if you've already done all the other troubleshooting steps.
